I believe it is Nautilus under Red Hat 7.2 running GNOME. Since I
posted my original problem report, I have discovered that if I launch
Nautilus, open its Preferences dialog, go to the "Windows & Desktop"
tab, and uncheck "Use Nautilus to draw the desktop", this problem goes
away.
I'm not sure this is an FVWM problem. Nautilus appears to have been
"stealing" root mouse events.

I do not have gmc running.
